LGV Theory Test Explained: All the Parts You Need to Pass

The LGV theory test is split into parts. To get your licence you need the multiple-choice and hazard perception parts, and if you'll drive professionally you also need the Driver CPC case studies.

Multiple-choice questions

• 100 questions in 1 hour 55 minutes
• Pass mark: 85 out of 100

Hazard perception

• 19 video clips
• Pass mark: 67 out of 100

Driver CPC case studies

• Needed if you drive a lorry for a living
• Questions based on real-life scenarios

How to prepare

• Study each topic, including drivers' hours, vehicle weights and loading
• Take full-length mock tests so the long multiple-choice part feels normal
• Practise hazard perception clips regularly
